Molly's "Blank"

When Molly was born she got a softer than soft, homemade, pink blanket from her Grandma Kathy. We used it, but since Molly was born in June--only a thin receiving blanket was really needed for the first few months of her life. That all changed. . .

Right before Molly turned one (we actually were gone on her birthday--yeah, she'll probably be in therapy for this. . .), Rusty and I went away for four days to San Antonia so he could attend a law conference. Grandma Kathy came to babysit, and thought Molly wasn't using her blanket enough. Therefore, she made sure Molly went everywhere with it, and was soon attached to it. This was my first experience of a "security blanket" and therefore, when we left it at a friends house one night, I wasn't too concerned with going back the 10 miles to retreive it. I WAS WRONG!!! About 11 p.m. I woke the family up and went and got it. Ever since then it all about, "Where is the blank."

Here Molly is sleeping in her crib (she seriously knows if one of those 56 items is removed from her crib) like every night with princess shoes, princess headband, and "The Blank". Only the headband and shoes change--and usually she's naked when we get her up in the morning. Again, I think this is because she was born in the summer--doesn't like a lot of clothing on. . .
